Abstract For controlling the oil field development proposed an economically efficient express calculation and visualization method of the hydrodynamic parameters current values distribution in the productive formation. The presented report shows the results of applying this technique for determining the injected water propagation direction into the productive formation (X horizon) at the «Neft Dashlary» field. Based on the calculated results, the current distribution of the injected water was visualized in the selected section of the formation. High accuracy of the calculation was confirmed by comparing obtained results with the results of a simultaneous tracer study conducted in the field conditions. During tracer studies it was tested a new tracer material, more effective than its analogs. According to laboratory and experimental studies, the addition of 0.003% of this indicator substance to the volume of injected water is the optimal amount for its recognition in the well's product. At the allocated area of the "Neft Dashlari" field, the benefits from the use of the calculation method amounted to 62.9 thousand manats. Based on the obtained satisfying results of the new method for calculating hydrodynamic parameters and the use of a tracer indicator application at the «Neft Dashlary» oilfield, it is recommended to apply these developments in other oil and gas fields for mass diagnostic of the reservoir fluid distribution in a selected area of productive formations.

Aim. In this paper, we set out to analyse the problem of preservation of old‐growth relic pine forests under in the context of oil field development.Discussion. The Buzuluk pine forest is the largest natural island forest in the steppe zone of European Russia. Presenting a landscape isolate of old‐growth natural pine and pine‐broadleaved forests, this unique natural object received the status of a national natural park in 2007. In this territory, former oil and gas fields are currently being prepared for operation and maintenance. The Buzuluk pine forest has been a subject of intense scientific interest due to a number of preserved standards of old‐ growth pine forests. These standards were originally identified and described by G.V. Morozov and V.N. Sukachev, thus forming a basis for modern forest biogeocenosis classifications. The paper discusses the current problems of the Buzuluk pine forest associated with the need to preserve old‐growth pine trees serving as standards. The consequences of oil production are assessed, with environmental restrictions in the zones of oil field exploitation being formulated. Industrial development of oil and gas fields inevitably leads to negative consequences, includ‐ ing the loss of ecosystem stability, a decrease in biological diversity and landscape degradation.Conclusion. The preservation of old‐growth pine trees is a necessary condition for the existence, restoration and sustainable development of the Buzuluk pine forest as a single ecosystem.

The present economic model is intended to provide an example of how to take into consideration risks and uncertainties in the case of a field that is developed with water injection. The risks and uncertainties are related, on one hand to field operations (drilling time, delays due to drilling problems, rig failures and materials supply, electric submersible pump [ESP] installations failures with the consequences of losing the well), and on the other hand, the second set of uncertainties are related to costs (operational expenditures-OPEX and capital expenditures-CAPEX, daily drilling rig costs), prices (oil, gas, separation, and water injection preparation), production profiles, and discount factor. All the calculations are probabilistic. The authors are intending to provide a comprehensive solution for assessing the business performance of an oil field development.

Oil Field Development

A quantitative analysis of economic risk associated with large investments in offshore oil and gas field development and production is presented. The analysis is intended as a supporting tool in decision-making faced with uncertainty and risk, to study the effect of alternative decisions in an easy manner. The descriptors for the project assessment, such as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV) are applied. The study demonstrates first the impacts of early pilot production (EPP) prior to a main oil field development on the field economy of an oil field development and production installation. Furthermore, the result of cases which reflect relevant situations connected with cost overruns are presented, as well as derivation of rational decision criteria for termination/continuation of a project subjected to cost overruns. Finally, an oil field development project scheduling is demonstrated.

The Pyrenees development comprises the concurrent development of three oil and gas fields: Ravensworth, Crosby and Stickle. The fields are located in production licenses WA-42-L and WA-43-L, offshore Western Australia, in the Exmouth Sub-basin. The development will be one of the largest offshore oil developments in Australia for some time. It is a complex subsea development consisting of a series of manifolds, control umbilicals and flexible flowlines tied back to a disconnectable floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The development involves the construction of 17 subsea wells, including 13 horizontal producers, three vertical water disposal wells and one gas injection well. The project is presently on production with first oil achieved during February 2010. This paper gives an overview of the field development and describes the engineering and technologies that have been selected to enable the economic development of these fields. The Pyrenees fields are low relief, with oil columns of about 40 metres in excellent quality reservoirs of the Barrow Group. Two of the fields have small gas caps and a strong bottom water drive common to all fields is expected to assist recovery. The oil is a moderate viscosity, low gas-to-oil ratio (GOR), 19°API crude. Due to the geometry of the reservoirs, the expected drive mechanism and the nature of the crude, effective oil recovery requires maximum reservoir contact and hence the drilling of long near horizontal wells. Besides the challenging nature of well construction, other technologies adopted to improve recovery efficiency and operability includes subsea multiphase flow meters and sand control with inflow control devices.

Pressure Analysis

During the development of oil and gas fields, the permeability of the reservoirs decreases due to a decrease in reservoir pressure and an increase in effective pressure, as a result of which significant reserves of oil and gas remain in the reservoir. To predict the rate of decrease in oil production rates during field development and to respond quickly, it is necessary to know the law of permeability decrease with an increase in effective pressure. Existing methods for describing the change in the permeability of rocks were analyzed in the paper. Numerical analysis of the results of core studies from previously published papers and the results of field well testing on the examples of the north Perm region oil fields showed that in both cases, regardless of the type of rock and the type of reservoir, the change in permeability can be described by the same equations (exponential and power-law). Obtained equations can be used to predict changes in the permeability of terrigenous reservoirs of the north Perm region oil fields. At the same time, according to the results of well testing, an intensive decrease in permeability is observed with an increase in effective pressure. Analysis of the nature of permeability changes using the Two-Part Hooke’s Model showed that significant irreversible deformations are currently taking place in the formations of the oil fields under consideration. Predicting the change in permeability from effective pressure can allow to optimize the development of oil deposits.

Well killing is an important technological stage before conducting workover operation, one of the tasks of which is to preserve and restore the natural filtration characteristics of the bottomhole formation zone (BFZ). Special attention should be paid to the choice of well killing technologies and development of wells in complicated conditions, which include abnormally low reservoir pressure, high oil-gas ratio and carbonate reservoir type. To preserve the filtration characteristics of the productive formation and prevent fluid losses in producing wells during well killing operation, blocking compositions are used. At the same time, an informed choice of the most effective well killing technologies is required. Consequently, there is a need to conduct laboratory physicochemical and coreflood experiments simulating geological, physical, and technological conditions of field development, as similar as possible to actual reservoir conditions. The article presents the results of experimental studies on the development well killing technologies of producing wells during workover operation in various geological, physical, and technological conditions of oil field development. Physicochemical and coreflood laboratory experiments were carried out with the simulation of the processes of well killing and development of wells in reservoir conditions with the use of modern high-technology equipment in the Enhanced Oil Recovery Laboratory of the Department of Development and Operation of Oil and Gas Fields at St. Petersburg Mining University. As a result of the experimental studies, new compositions of well killing and stimulation fluids were developed, which ensure to prevent fluid loss, gas breakthrough, as well as the preservation, restoration and improvement of the filtration characteristics of the BFZ in the conditions of terrigenous and carbonate reservoirs at different stages of oil field development. It is determined that the developed process fluids, which include surfactants (YALAN-E2 and NG-1), have a hydrophobic effect on the porous medium of reservoir rocks, which ultimately contributes to the preservation, restoration and improvement of the filtration characteristics of the BFZ. The value of the presented research results is relevant for practice and confirmed by the fact that, as a result of field tests of the technology for blocking the BFZ with the composition of inverse water–oil emulsion during well killing before workover operation, an improvement in the efficiency of wells operation was obtained in the form of an increase in their oil production rate by an average of 5–10 m3/day, reducing the time required for the well to start operating up to 1–3 days and reducing the water cut of formation fluid by 20–30%.
